Response to Daniel Philpott: the Politics of Religious Freedom

By Elizabeth Shakman Hurd

…igious distinctions are not only inevitable but also publically and politically salient. My book creates a space in which to explore these kinds of questions by charting the blurred boundaries and dizzying power dynamics that characterize relations between “official religion,” “governed religion,” and “lived religion.” In the process, it uncovers a different story about the politics of religion. This story is in many ways continuous with the argum…

Daily News Corrects JR Smith’s “Fool[ish]” Slavery/Black Friday Post… Incorrectly

By Evan Derkacz

…auction. Yeah, because nothing like that took place in American history. Still, the Daily News’ Jaime Uribarri drags Smith through the mud by recounting the cruelty of online critics: “You’re a f——— idiot” was one of the the more blunt responses to the head-scratcher of a post, while others, like Twitter user @j_weech1, tried enlightening Smith about the true meaning of the term. “It’s called Black Friday because businesses get into the black (pro…

Gay, Christian, Pagan, Artist: How Matt Morris Defies the Borders of Spiritual Identity

By Jesse James DeConto

…copalian I was participating in the liturgy. I was living into the liturgical calendar. I was in Sunday School, with certain stories about Jesus and about Scripture. The discussions about what it means to be a Christian or about what it means to be a follower of Jesus, which are common in certain traditions, and where that engagement with Christian identity is so much on the surface and so central to the practices of worship—I don’t think I experi…

Confront Death by Avoiding Fritos: The Gluten Lie, Fad Diets, & Foodie Faith

By Michael Schulson

…w Age eating habits, but I would never do the same about, say, kashrut or halal diets. I have no problem with religious diets. What I have a problem with is religious diets masquerading as scientifically sound dietary advice. It’s one thing to say, “Hey, I just think it is immoral to genetically alter plants, and therefore I don’t eat them because they represent modern evil.” That’s fine, as long as you stop there. But when you try to bring in sci…

Robot Kills a Worker in Germany… Who’s to Blame?

By Hilary Ledwell

…blame Toyota when they crash their cars. But, while in car crashes our moral sensibility and intuition causes us to blame users (that is, drivers), that seems less likely in the robotics context. Surely no one would want to blame the workers using the robot for the incident in the VW factory, so we aren’t left with many appealing options. Our intuition to blame the bot may not be so crazy after all. We blame drivers who crash their cars because w…

Ignoring the Pope on Climate Change is Not Like Using Contraception

By Kevin M. Lowe

…he community, etc.” This understanding led Murray to support the public availability of contraception: “Catholics must make publicly known the grounds of their approval, namely, that they, like all citizens, are bound on the principles of law, jurisprudence, and religious freedom.” A private or religious opposition did not entitle Catholics to impose their belief on the general society. Dissent can be productive. As Gerald Schlabach has argued, lo…

Irish Vote Reflects Diminished Moral Authority of Catholic Church

By Peter Montgomery

…estern Europe,” said Ignacio Arsuaga, a Spanish activist who founded a global online campaign platform called CitizenGo. (Its board includes Brian Brown of the United States’s National Organization for Marriage.) “Our arguments are not reaching the majority of society. The majority of society just think in the terms that were promoted by the gay lobby: ‘This is a question of rights …and marriage is a human right.” There were dissenters, of course,…

Who Would the Buddha Bomb?

By Danny Fisher

…hat ‘last resort,’” he writes: “If we held to the principle of no intentional killing—with no ifs, ands or buts—it would force us to focus our ingenuity on ways of stopping enemies from harming us without our intentionally killing them.” This letter set off a series of missives that, disappointingly, grow less and less helpful as they increase in number and length. When I spoke to Bhikkhu Bodhi about the fracas in an interview last fall, he cautio…

‘No Room’ for Gays in Country that Worships God [Kenya] | Churches Fight to Keep Sexuality Out of Sex Ed [S. Korea] | Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…so sobering, it altered my worldview and rearranged my priorities. It is still illegal to be gay in 77 countries. LGBTQ people in these countries are imprisoned and subjected to “corrective” action, including rape by government officials, public humiliation and the death penalty. Upon arrival in the U.S., LGBTQ asylum-seekers can face abuse in detention centers. Many have nowhere to go, no social support, and end up homeless. They cannot legally w…

By Hilary Ledwell and Michael Schulson

…a. Ironman) builds AI program (Ultron) designed to protect humanity from evil aliens and other threats; Ultron goes rogue; our superheroes step up to the rescue. Among the explosions and flirty banter, The Cubit detected serious questions about human agency, creative power, and the future of technology. Cubit co-editor Michael Schulson and Yale Law School student Hilary Ledwell got together online to discuss killer Roombas, golems, and whether Ton…
